Seeing Lu An, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Guanzhi began to introduce Chen Quan at his own pace: "Chen Boyuan is a Chinese-American, who joined the Sotheby's Treasury Department in New York in the 60s.

Because of his family education, he fell in love with quiet Chinese art.

Especially keen on Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and painting.

Later, he was transferred to the expert department and was in charge of the auction at Sotheby's in New York, where he set an auction record for a Chinese calligraphy painting that sold for $180,000.

In the 70s, he rose to North American management. In the 80s, he rose to the position of president, and under his vigorous promotion, Chinese art gradually gained the initiative in the international market.

Later, Chen Bo single-handedly established a special exhibition of Chinese art at Sotheby's in New York, and then developed into an independent department, completely elevating Chinese calligraphy and painting and other works of art in the world to the same international status..."

I thought in advance that this Chen Quan was very good.

But after listening to these introductions, Lu An was completely convinced. This is no longer a bull fork, it is a fairy-level character.

Let's not talk about the rest, people have single-handedly raised the status of Chinese calligraphy and painting art in the international arena, and the artists who eat this bowl of rice in China will thank him.

I don't want to say how deep the gratitude is, but I always give a little bit of thin noodles when I meet it.

That's a huge network of people with an aura of its own.

Lu An restrained the casualness on his face, got up and solemnly added a cup of tea to Chen Quan.

Q: "Where is Mr. Chen now...?"

Chen Quan thanked him on his chin, and then said: "According to my father's last wishes, I have now changed back to Chinese nationality and am currently working under the hands of Guan. ”

No wonder he is dressed in a Mao suit, and it seems that he is a person who truly loves the art of Chinese painting and calligraphy.

But this Yu Guanzhi..., it's not easy to let a cow like Chen Quan do things for her, right?

Lu An returned to his seat, looked at Yu Guanzhi, and joked half-truthfully:

"It seems that Miss Yu came prepared today in order to capture my thousand-mile horse."

Yu Guanzhi smiled gently, took out a thick booklet from his bag, and handed it to him:

"I run Haibo Gallery and Haibo Auction House, and because it is inconvenient for me to come forward, Uncle Chen is taking care of it."

Lu An took the booklet and flipped through it carefully.

These are all specific introductions to Haibo Gallery and Haibo Auction House.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, this Miss Yu is so big!

Although they are all newly established, the total investment is expected to be more than 30 million.

30 million in this era!

Lu An's scalp tingled when he thought about it, and his net worth in his previous life was about the same amount. But the times are different, can they be compared?

The further back he looked, the more he felt the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he understood why the other party valued him so much?

In the field of oil painting, they still lack pillars.

The two of them obviously wanted to recruit themselves into the gallery as pillars.

Thinking of this, his heart blossomed, his mother is good, he still knows the goods.

The scene was quiet for a while, except for the sound of the pages of a book.

Yu Guanzhi's aura was stable, and he had been drinking tea quietly.

She even took out a small box of tea leaves from her bag and was making tea art by herself.

Chen Quan can also endure his temperament. It's just that most of the eyes are on Lu An, although he is very good, but in his eyes, Lu An is a little mysterious and talented.

So I'm curious.

And the most fluctuating mind is probably Zhou Kun. The eyes he looks at Lu An now are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and others don't know the situation in Guanzhi's family.

Doesn't he know that he has been licking dogs for more than ten years?

If Lu An really cooperates with Guan Zhi, it will really be lucky, and God will chase after feeding the cakes.

Zhou Kun's imagination, Lu An didn't know.

He quietly flipped through the book for about 20 minutes, and finally finished reading the booklet, then closed it and put it back on the coffee table.

Yu Guanzhi raised his head at the right time, smiled and asked, "What does Mr. Lu think?" ”

Lu An nodded, "Good! ”

These are his heartfelt words.

Yu Guanzhi folded his hands on his knees and asked softly, "Is Mr. Lu willing to join the gallery and auction house, display his talent, and fight for a better future for himself?" ”

Lu An was a little surprised to hear it, and he could understand it when he joined the gallery.

As for the auction house???

As if seeing his doubts, Yu Guanzhi said: "Haibo Auction House has its own oil painting department, and the consultant position in it is very suitable for Mr. Lu. ”

Gotcha! Some words are easy to understand.

This woman is very ambitious, and wants to tie herself to her carriage completely.

Looking at the other party's extremely beautiful face, Lu An secretly complained, if you tie me up like this, you won't be afraid that the carriage will overturn one day...

He pondered for a moment, then asked directly: "If I join a gallery and an auction house, what conditions can you offer me?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Guanzhi and Chen Quan glanced at each other, as if to say: Look, the analysis is right, although Lu An is only 18 years old, he is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.

The woman opened the bag without hurry, took out a document from it, and gently placed it in front of him:

"When we join galleries and auction houses, we give Mr. Lu a basic salary of 2,000 yuan per month.

The split between your work and the gallery and the auction house is 5:5.

If an oil painting sells for $100,000 at an auction house, Mr. Lu can get $50,000. This is income after taxes.

The remaining $50,000 goes to galleries and auction houses. ”

Afraid that Lu An is a newcomer who doesn't understand the market, Yu Guanzhi also specially explained the doorway inside for him:

"I'm the owner of a gallery and an auction house, and most of the $50,000 is used to cover the costs.

For example, industrial tax, publicity expenses, sales staff commissions, business income tax, art exhibition fees and some other expenses, these expenses account for about 70%-80%. ”

At this point, she paused and said with a warm smile: "But then again, if Mr. Lu becomes a world-renowned top artist in the future, then this contract will not apply."

At that time, galleries and auction houses will only receive 3% or 4% of the auction income of paintings, or less, depending on the actual situation in the future. ”

There is a saying in the gallery industry, called: four or six cents can only barely make a living, and three or seven cents of galleries will go out of business.

Of course, this sentence only applies to well-known painters, not to those figures at the top of the pyramid who are worth millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in a random painting.
